Brantford Upgrades Streetlights to Energy Efficient LEDs

The City of Brantford has completed a multi-year project to upgrade streetlights using a $330,000 investment from the CCBF. 

This major energy efficiency project spanned from 2021-2024 and is part of a larger ongoing process of increasing Brantford’s sustainability efforts.

The investment was used to replace 3,000 outdated lighting fixtures with more efficient and longer-lasting LED lights, helping to achieve goals in beautification and public safety on top of climate change resilience and cost savings. 

The upgrade significantly reduced energy consumption by 570 kW leading to $50,000 in annual savings for the city, while also increasing visibility so pedestrians and drivers alike can feel safer in well-lit areas.

The project’s success provides a strong foundation for future improvements as the city works toward greater energy efficiency.
